IPL 2025: 3 Players RCB could have targeted over Jitesh Sharma at mega auction
Royal Challengers Bengaluru signed Jitesh Sharma for INR 11 crore.
2. Ishan Kishan
The formula would have been the same as KL Rahul's. Salt and Ishan Kishan could have formed a deadly combination at the top of the order, followed by Kohli at number three. Kishan was bought for INR 11.25 crore in the auction, and RCB could have pushed to get him onboard as the keeper-batter is a serial match-winner in the shortest format.

Instead, the franchise didn’t place any bid to acquire the service of Kishan. He has played 105 matches in the IPL and scored 2,644 runs at a strike rate of 135.86. Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings started the bidding war, however, Delhi Capitals joined the race before Sunrisers Hyderabad placed the winning bid. Notably, Kishan could have been a long-term asset for RCB but the franchise missed out on the opportunity.
